Bringing tags to the next level

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

Tags been around for some time now, at least in the current form. They have not evolved that much and they are not quite doing the job we need them to. Since we are pushing the envelop on data amount, believe us even google will look a bit pale when we are up and running, tags is not enough. In its current state/form at least. So we have to bring tags on steroids to this party.

Problem is; we don´t yet know what that is. So right now, we are not able to tell what a wwwraal-tag is. But it sure is something that will make you say; Oh, wow, why didn´t I think of that.

Search Engines, what do they know? … really

This just might be the most understated problem of the internet today. Search Engines do not know anything, at least if you look at the biggies (g, y!, l). They just serve a reply which is calculated in a way they can´t explain because it´s their secrets.

So how will I as a user ever be able to related to that reply?

The only thing I can do is start using some arbitrary “algorithms” in my head. Like; “oh, that looks creditable”, “I think I remember that site” “wasn´t that the article I got a tip about from my friend”

wwwraal is not just the solution to this major flaw of search, it´s the service that will bring you, the user, back in the driving seat.
